Emma C. Louisiana is a great place to visit with your family! Here is a guide for the many things to do, fascinating facts, state symbols and what to bring.
First of all, you should know what to bring. The average July temperature is 82°F (28°C), so it’s hot in the summer. There are fierce hurricanes during this time of year. The warm winds make the summers here hot and humid. The highest temperature ever in Louisiana was 144°F (46°C) on August 10, 1936, so Louisiana summers are defiantly hot. If you visit Louisiana in the summer you should bring t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, a swim suit, flip-flops, tennis shoes, a rain coat, and rain boots to wear. Some sporting equipment you should bring is a tent, boat, water skis’, a fishing rod, bait, horse, and hiking boots. The average temperature in January is 50°F (40°C). So Louisiana winters are fairly chilly. The winters here are mild and snow is rare. Some clothes you should bring in the winter are a sweater or jacket, long pants, jeans, long sleeve shirt, rain coat, or rain boots.
Another thing you should know about Louisiana are its fascinating facts. Some of the many famous people born here are Louis Armstrong who was a jazz trumpeter and singer. Two other famous people born here are Britney Spears, a singer, and Terry Bradshaw who is a football player. A forth famous person born here is Huey “Kingfish” Long a politician. There are two sport teams in Louisiana. One of the two sport teams are the New Orleans Saints, a football team. The other team is the New Orleans Hornets, a basketball team. Now here are some facts that are just fascinating. Did you know that the estimated population is 4,468,978! Hurricane Katrina took 1,400 lives. The delta here has the richest soil in the state. The wetlands in Louisiana cover one-third of the state.
Next, before you go you should know the state symbols to show your knowledge of the state. The state bird of Louisiana is the Eastern Brown Pelican! Also there is a state tree, the Bald cypress. To finish State Symbols, the state flower is a Mongolia.
Finally, if you do ever visit the great state of Louisiana here are some things to do! If you visit Northern Louisiana here are some ideas of what to do there. You could go to the American Rose center, were there are over 20,000 rose bushes. Or you could go to a Horse Race. Another two ideas would be to go to Shreve port or a river. The rivers there are good for fishing and boating. If you go to Central Louisiana there are different things to do and places to go! You could go to Natchitoches, and if you go in October you visit the Natchitoches Folk Festival were there is music and crafts. Another location in Central Louisiana you could try visiting is the Kisatchie National Forest, there you can go hiking, camping, water skiing, swimming, and boating. Next, if you visit Greater New Orleans here are some suggestions of were to go and what to see! You could go to one of the French Quarter Wax or Voodoo museums. If you prefer an old place to go you could go to an old Mansions. Finally, if you want to go to a city, just visit the Greater New Orleans city. You could go to the Audubon zoo or the Aquarium of Americas. Or you could take a flat-bottom boat on a tour of the Honey Island swamp. You could, also just go strait into the city and listen to the jazz bands play.
In conclusion, knowing about what to pack, fascinating facts, state symbols, and things to do will help you to know a lot about Louisiana and make you seem like you’ve lived there if you visit.
